25 years old and have been masturbating since i was 6. Its time for me to beat this!

Hi guys,

Im very happy to meet you all and become a part of this community. Its so soothing to see and read about people that I can relate to and hopefully learn from.

Let me tell you guys a bit about myself.

Masturbating has been part of my life since before i can remember. I was masturbating before i was even able to properly ejaculate. Six years old is the earliest i can recall. I do not believe from the ages of 10-25 that i have gone a week without ejaculating 20+ times. I am definitely addicted to porn and have many of the symptoms that you guys talk about here. Deep down i've known that i've had a problem but it just became a regular part of my life and never was properly addressed. At this point I'm realizing that i don't even truly know my self because there hasn't been a time in my life that i wasn't compulsively masturbating and watching porn. There honestly hasn't even been a week in life experienced where i was free from constant ejaculations and the effects it may have been having on me. Today i hope to take steps to eventually discover the real me.

I have a terrible memory. Im completely disorganized mentally and physically. I suffer from anxiety ranging from mild to severe. I cannot commit fully to projects or goals because of lack of energy, motivation, and mental clarity.

I realize that this weakness is costing me so much. I've had so many amazing opportunities within the last couple years that i haven't capitalized on. My relationship has suffered with my amazing, beautiful girlfriend because of my lack of sexual attraction to her. I know i make her feel insecure with how much i masturbate/fantasize about other women.

Im here today to take my stand. To really address my problem and admit my faults and admit my addiction.

I can be a better person i know it. I can achieve a lot more in life i know it. If i could just beat this addiction....

Im honored to be part of this community.

Please help me reach my goals brothers and i will do anything i can to support and help you reach yours.


Humbly yours,

Andrew
